As an adult, I can appreciate your dad's efforts but as a kid, I would've chucked those raisins in the bushes for taking too much space in the T or T bag (actually, I think unwanted candy was 're-treated'). Kudos to him for at least trying, although a brick through the window is a harsh trade-off.

I would love to hear if other people have come up with alternatives to candy treats.

Lindsay, please tell me that you're kidding ... Actually, I had a friend who told me that corn chips were healthy because they're made from corn, so nothing surprises me anymore. Common sense trns out not to be common at all.

I was out at the Mpls market on 10/18 and I agree with you, Lee, there's lots of good stuff still to be had - tons of root vegetables, squashes, ginormous cabbages and apples among other things. I sampled the Prairie Spy & Victory apples at the Ames Farm booth and both would be excellent in pies or crisps.

If you're not in a cooking mood, vendors were selling mums, greens, decorative branches and other items for outdoor seasonal decorating.

And if you're in an eating mood like I was that day, who can resist the brats and kettle corn? I certainly couldn't. :)
